To their own devices: Pablo Larrain's 'The Club'

February 4, 2009

I have been harsh on him in the past, but I have got to give it up for Manu on this play. He starts the play off by burning his defender thanks to a nice pick from Tony Parker, gets the dish, flys through the lane, and finishes by absolutely posterizing Hilton Armstrong. If this play is any evidence of his improved health, the western conference should be put on notice. With Tony Parker, Tim Duncan, the out of nowhere skills Roger Mason has been displaying, Manu, and a younger bench; this team has what it needs to be a true test for any team in the league and should be considered a contender for the championship.
